* Net: use the new findloop for loop detection.Simon Tatham2016-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've removed the old algorithm (the one described as 'footpath dsf' in the findloop.c appendix comment, though I hadn't thought of that name at the time), and replaced it with calls to the new API. This should have no functional effect: there weren't any known bugs in the previous loop-finder that affected currently supported play modes. But this generality improvement means that non-orientable playing surfaces could be supported in the future, which would have confused the old algorithm. And Net, being the only puzzle as yet that's played on a torus, is perhaps the one most likely to want to generalise further at some point.
* Fix homology bug (!) in Net's loop highlighter.Simon Tatham2014-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I unthinkingly transplanted into Net the same loop-finding algorithm used in Loopy and Slant, which identifies the connected components into which the grid lines divide the plane, and marks an edge as part of a loop iff it separates two different components. This works fine for a planar graph, but in Net's wrapping mode, it's possible to have loops which do not have this property - e.g. a loop can go off the top of the grid and back on the bottom to join up with itself, and then it _doesn't_ disconnect the surface into two components. (In principle, this kind of problem can turn up in any topological space with a non-trivial H_1 homology group, which is why it fails on the torus to which Net's wrapping mode corresponds, but not on the plane or sphere. I think it's forgivable that I hadn't expected homology to be the cause of any bug in practical code ever!) Fixed by inventing yet another dsf-based loop-finding algorithm, this one based on tracing round the outside of connected components of the graph. It's still not _fully_ general, in that this one still depends on the graph being drawn on an orientable surface (so it'll need another rewrite if I ever add Mobius strip or Klein bottle modes for Net...), but it's fairly simple to state and implement, and detects loops that the previous implementation did not, such as the one in the starting position of 3x3w:1a39ac6a8 .
* Error-highlight loops in Net.Simon Tatham2014-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loops are detected using the same dsf technique I ended up using in Slant, and highlighted in red (whether or not the connected component they belong to is currently powered). Should make life a little bit easier for someone who's filled in most of the grid to a nice uniform cyan and finds one piece left over - now they have some idea where to start looking for their mistake. We also take care not to generate any loops in the starting position, on grounds of politeness (don't accuse the user of a mistake before they've even had a chance to make one). Loop detection does not contribute to the code that decides whether the puzzle is complete, because there's no need - if all squares are connected together, then there can't be any loops anyway, by graph theory.
* Giant const patch of doom: add a 'const' to every parameter in everySimon Tatham2013-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | puzzle backend function which ought to have it, and propagate those consts through to per-puzzle subroutines as needed. I've recently had to do that to a few specific parameters which were being misused by particular puzzles (r9657, r9830), which suggests that it's probably a good idea to do the whole lot pre-emptively before the next such problem shows up. [originally from svn r9832] [r9657 == 3b250baa02a7332510685948bf17576c397b8ceb] [r9830 == 0b93de904a98f119b1a95d3a53029f1ed4bfb9b3]
* Add 'const' to the game_params arguments in validate_desc andSimon Tatham2013-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | new_desc. Oddities in the 'make test' output brought to my attention that a few puzzles have been modifying their input game_params for various reasons; they shouldn't do that, because that's the game_params held permanently by the midend and it will affect subsequent game generations if they modify it. So now those arguments are const, and all the games which previously modified their game_params now take a copy and modify that instead. [originally from svn r9830]
* New rule: interpret_move() is passed a pointer to the game_drawstateSimon Tatham2012-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | basically just so that it can divide mouse coordinates by the tile size, but is definitely not expected to _write_ to it, and it hadn't previously occurred to me that anyone might try. Therefore, interpret_move() now gets a pointer to a _const_ game_drawstate instead of a writable one. All existing puzzles cope fine with this API change (as long as the new const qualifier is also added to a couple of subfunctions to which interpret_move delegates work), except for the just-committed Undead, which somehow had ds->ascii and ui->ascii the wrong way round but is otherwise unproblematic. [originally from svn r9657]
* Changed my mind about midend_is_solved: I've now reprototyped it asSimon Tatham2011-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | midend_status(), and given it three return codes for win, (permanent) loss and game-still-in-play. Depending on what the front end wants to use it for, it may find any or all of these three states worth distinguishing from each other. (I suppose a further enhancement might be to add _non_-permanent loss as a fourth distinct status, to describe situations in which you can't play further without pressing Undo but doing so is not completely pointless. That might reasonably include dead-end situations in Same Game and Pegs, and blown-self-up situations in Mines and Inertia. However, I haven't done this at present.) [originally from svn r9179]
* Add a function to every game backend which indicates whether a gameSimon Tatham2011-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | state is in a solved position, and a midend function wrapping it. (Or, at least, a situation in which further play is pointless. The point is, given that game state, would it be a good idea for a front end that does that sort of thing to proactively provide the option to start a fresh game?) [originally from svn r9140]
* Patch from Mark Wooding to introduce a draw_thick_line() function inSimon Tatham2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | the drawing API, for use by Loopy. It's optional: drawing.c will construct an acceptable alternative using a filled polygon if the front end doesn't provide it. Net and Netslide previously had static functions called draw_thick_line(), whose claim to the name is less justified and so they've been renamed. [originally from svn r8962]

* Patch from James H providing lots more paranoid casting. Also oneSimon Tatham2008-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | actual behaviour change: Untangle now permits dragging with the right mouse button, which has exactly the same effect as it does with the left. (Harmless on desktop platforms, but helpful when "right-click" is achieved by press-and-hold; now the drag takes place even if you hesitate first.) [originally from svn r8177]
* New infrastructure feature. Games are now permitted to beSimon Tatham2008-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu item to be greyed out depending on the game_params. To do this I've introduced a new backend function (can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to update their front end. As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current games can still either copy always or copy never. [originally from svn r8161]

* Dariusz Olszewski's changes to support compiling for PocketPC. ThisSimon Tatham2007-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | is mostly done with ifdefs in windows.c; so mkfiles.pl generates a new makefile (Makefile.wce) and Recipe enables it, but it's hardly any different from Makefile.vc apart from a few definitions at the top of the files. Currently the PocketPC build is not enabled in the build script, but with any luck I'll be able to do so reasonably soon. [originally from svn r7337]

* Mike's changes to dsf.c alter the internal storage format of dsfSimon Tatham2006-11-01
| | | | | | | | | structures, meaning that ad-hoc initialisation now doesn't work. Hence, this checkin converts all ad-hoc dsf initialisations into calls to dsf_init() or snew_dsf(). At least, I _hope_ I've caught all of them. [originally from svn r6888]
* Cleanup: remove the `just_used_solve' field from a number of gamesSimon Tatham2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | which didn't actually need it. It was originally introduced in Fifteen to suppress animation on Solve moves, but midend.c now does that centrally unless the game specifically instructs it otherwise. Therefore, just_used_solve is obsolete in all games which previously used it. (Mines was even worse: it scrupulously maintained the correctness of the field but never used it!) Untangle is exempt from this cleanup: its `just_solved' field is used to change the _length_ of the animation on Solve moves, not to suppress it entirely, and so it has to stay. [originally from svn r6419]
* Cleanup: it was absolutely stupid for game_wants_statusbar() to be aSimon Tatham2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | function, since it took no parameters by which to vary its decision, and in any case it's hard to imagine a game which only _conditionally_ wants a status bar. Changed it into a boolean data field in the backend structure. [originally from svn r6417]
* Cleanup: remove the game_state parameter to game_colours(). No gameSimon Tatham2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | was actually using it, and also it wasn't being called again for different game states or different game parameters, so it would have been a mistake to depend on anything in that game state. Games are now expected to commit in advance to a single fixed list of all the colours they will ever need, which was the case in practice already and simplifies any later port to a colour-poor platform. Also this change has removed a lot of unnecessary faff from midend_colours(). [originally from svn r6416]

* Use game_set_size() to set up the temporary drawstate inSimon Tatham2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | game_print(), wherever feasible. This fixes a specific bug in Loopy (James H's new field ds->linewidth wasn't being set up, leading to corrupted print output), but I've made the change in all affected files because it also seems like a generally good idea to encourage it for future games, to prevent other problems of this type. There is one slight snag, which is that Map _can't_ do this because its game_set_size() also initialises a blitter. I could fix this by abstracting the common parts of Map's game_set_size() out into a subfunction called by game_set_size() and also called directly by game_print(); alternatively, I could introduce a means of determining whether a `drawing *' was for screen or printing use. Not sure which yet. [originally from svn r6340]

* Substantial infrastructure upheaval. I've separated the drawing APISimon Tatham2005-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as seen by the back ends from the one implemented by the front end, and shoved a piece of middleware (drawing.c) in between to permit interchange of multiple kinds of the latter. I've also added a number of functions to the drawing API to permit printing as well as on-screen drawing, and retired print.py in favour of integrated printing done by means of that API. The immediate visible change is that print.py is dead, and each puzzle now does its own printing: where you would previously have typed `print.py solo 2x3', you now type `solo --print 2x3' and it should work in much the same way. Advantages of the new mechanism available right now: - Map is now printable, because the new print function can make use of the output from the existing game ID decoder rather than me having to replicate all those fiddly algorithms in Python. - the new print functions can cope with non-initial game states, which means each puzzle supporting --print also supports --with-solutions. - there's also a --scale option permitting users to adjust the size of the printed puzzles. Advantages which will be available at some point: - the new API should permit me to implement native printing mechanisms on Windows and OS X. [originally from svn r6190]
* New puzzle: `Slant', picked from the Japanese-language section ofSimon Tatham2005-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | nikoli.co.jp (which has quite a few puzzles that they don't seem to have bothered to translate into English). Minor structural change: the disjoint set forest code used in the Net solver has come in handy again, so I've moved it out into its own module dsf.c. [originally from svn r6155]
* game_timing_state() now has access to the game_ui. This means thatSimon Tatham2005-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | whether the timer is currently going is no longer solely dependent on the current game_state: it can be dependent on more persistent information stored in the game_ui. In particular, Mines now freezes the timer permanently once you complete a grid for the first time, so that you can then backtrack through your solution process without destroying the information about how long it took you the first time through. [originally from svn r6088]
* Some patches from James H:Simon Tatham2005-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - reinstate the initialisation of ds->w and ds->h in guess.c, which I'd accidentally removed during game_size() refactoring - reorganise Net's interpret_move() so that my uncommitted patch for drag-based UI (which he uses on the Palm port) will apply more easily - the interpret_move() changes make it easy to have a single move type which rotates a tile by 180 degrees, so this is now provided via the `F' key (but there's no spare button available to provide it via the mouse). [originally from svn r6070]
* Add a `full' parameter to validate_params(), analogous to the one inJacob Nevins2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | encode_params(). This is necessary for cases where generation-time parameters that are normally omitted from descriptive IDs can place restrictions on other parameters; in particular, when the default value of a relevant generation-time parameter is not the one used to generate the descriptive ID, validation could reject self-generated IDs (e.g., Net `5x2w:56182ae7c2', and some cases in `Pegs'). [originally from svn r6068]
* Refactored the game_size() interface, which was getting reallySimon Tatham2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | unpleasant and requiring lots of special cases to be taken care of by every single game. The new interface exposes an integer `tile size' or `scale' parameter to the midend and provides two much simpler routines: one which computes the pixel window size given a game_params and a tile size, and one which is given a tile size and must set up a drawstate appropriately. All the rest of the complexity is handled in the midend, mostly by binary search, so grubby special cases only have to be dealt with once. [originally from svn r6059]
* draw_polygon() and draw_circle() have always had a portabilitySimon Tatham2005-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constraint: because some front ends interpret `draw filled shape' to mean `including its boundary' while others interpret it to mean `not including its boundary' (and X seems to vacillate between the two opinions as it moves around the shape!), you MUST NOT draw a filled shape only. You can fill in one colour and outline in another, you can fill or outline in the same colour, or you can just outline, but just filling is a no-no. This leads to a _lot_ of double calls to these functions, so I've changed the interface. draw_circle() and draw_polygon() now each take two colour arguments, a fill colour (which can be -1 for none) and an outline colour (which must be valid). This should simplify code in the game back ends, while also reducing the possibility for coding error. [originally from svn r6047]
* New {en,de}code_ui functions should be static. Oops.Simon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | [originally from svn r6031]
* More serialisation changes: the game_aux_info structure has now beenSimon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | retired, and replaced with a simple string. Most of the games which use it simply encode the string in the same way that the Solve move will also be encoded, i.e. solve_game() simply returns dupstr(aux_info). Again, this is a better approach than writing separate game_aux_info serialise/deserialise functions because doing it this way is self-testing (the strings are created and parsed during the course of any Solve operation at all). [originally from svn r6029]
* Move a rogue declaration to the top of its block.Simon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | [originally from svn r6027]
* Another function pair required for serialisation; these ones saveSimon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | and restore anything vitally important in the game_ui. Most of the game_ui is expected to be stuff about cursor positions and currently active mouse drags, so it absolutely _doesn't_ want to be preserved over a serialisation; but one or two things would be disorienting or outright wrong to reset, such as the Net origin position and the Mines death counter. [originally from svn r6026]
* Re-architecting of the game backend interface. make_move() has beenSimon Tatham2005-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | split into two functions. The first, interpret_move(), takes all the arguments that make_move() used to get and may have the usual side effects of modifying the game_ui, but instead of returning a modified game_state it instead returns a string description of the move to be made. This string description is then passed to a second function, execute_move(), together with an input game_state, which is responsible for actually producing the new state. (solve_game() also returns a string to be passed to execute_move().) The point of this is to work towards being able to serialise the whole of a game midend into a byte stream such as a disk file, which will eventually support save and load functions in the desktop puzzles, as well as restoring half-finished games after a quit and restart in James Harvey's Palm port. Making each game supply a convert-to-string function for its game_state format would have been an unreliable way to do this, since those functions would not have been used in normal play, so they'd only have been tested when you actually tried to save and load - a recipe for latent bugs if ever I heard one. This way, you won't even be able to _make_ a move if execute_move() doesn't work properly, which means that if you can play a game at all I can have pretty high confidence that serialising it will work first time. This is only the groundwork; there will be more checkins to come on this theme. But the major upheaval should now be done, and as far as I can tell everything's still working normally. [originally from svn r6024]
* Infrastructure change which I've been thinking about for a while:Simon Tatham2005-06-17
| | | | | | | the back end function solve_game() now takes the _current_ game_state in addition to the initial one. [originally from svn r5969]
* Another James Harvey patch. This one introduces a new button codeSimon Tatham2005-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | called `CURSOR_SELECT', intended for platforms which have a fire button to go with their cursor keys. (Apparently some Palms do.) CURSOR_SELECT is not bound to anything on any of the current three platforms, and therefore no game may rely on it being available. This checkin adds it in Net as a synonym for 'a', the keyboard-based rotate-left command. [originally from svn r5915]
* All the games in this collection have always defined their graphicsSimon Tatham2005-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in terms of a constant TILE_SIZE (or equivalent). Here's a surprisingly small patch which switches this constant into a run-time variable. The only observable behaviour change should be on Windows, which physically does not permit the creation of windows larger than the screen; if you try to create a puzzle (Net makes this plausible) large enough to encounter this restriction, the Windows front end should automatically re-adjust the puzzle's tile size so that it does fit within the available space. On GTK, I haven't done this, on the grounds that X _does_ permit windows larger than the screen, and many X window managers already provide the means to navigate around such a window. Gareth said he'd rather navigate around a huge Net window than have it shrunk to fit on one screen. I'm uncertain that this makes sense for all puzzles - Pattern in particular strikes me as something that might be better off shrunk to fit - so I may have to change policy later or make it configurable. On OS X, I also haven't done automatic shrinkage to fit on one screen, largely because I didn't have the courage to address the question of multiple monitors and what that means for the entire concept :-) [originally from svn r5913]
* Introduce a new game backend function (there seem to have been a lotSimon Tatham2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of these recently) whose job is to update a game_ui to be consistent with a new game_state. This is called by midend.c in every situation where the current game_state changes _other_ than as a result of make_move (Undo, Redo, Restart, Solve). The introduction of this function allows a game_ui to contain information about selections or highlights within a game_state which simply wouldn't make sense when transferred to another game_state. In particular, I've used it to fix a subtle bug in Solo whereby, although you couldn't right-click to pencil-mode highlight a filled square, you could _get_ a pencil-mode highlight in a filled square if you used Undo and Redo. (Undo to before the square was filled, right-click to highlight it, then Redo. Alternatively, left-click and clear the square, right-click to highlight it, then Undo.) [originally from svn r5912]
* James Harvey requested that puzzles not use DEBUG as a preprocessorSimon Tatham2005-06-04
| | | | | | | | | symbol for enabling diagnostics, presumably because in his Palm port it means something else as well. He sent this patch to switch Net and Netslide over to using GENERATION_DIAGNOSTICS, in the fashion of the newer games. [originally from svn r5908]
* Fix various departures from C found by `gcc -ansi -pedantic'. ISimon Tatham2005-06-02
| | | | | | | haven't checked in Makefile changes to enable this, but I'll at least fix the specific problems it found when enabled as a one-off. [originally from svn r5902]
* Miscellaneous fixes from James Harvey's PalmOS porting work:Simon Tatham2005-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - fixed numerous memory leaks (not Palm-specific) - corrected a couple of 32-bit-int assumptions (vital for Palm but generally a good thing anyway) - lifted a few function pointer types into explicit typedefs (neutral for me but convenient for the source-munging Perl scripts he uses to deal with Palm code segment rules) - lifted a few function-level static arrays into global static arrays (neutral for me but apparently works round a Palm tools bug) - a couple more presets in Rectangles (so that Palm, or any other slow platform which can't handle the larger sizes easily, can still have some variety available) - in Solo, arranged a means of sharing scratch space between calls to nsolve to prevent a lot of redundant malloc/frees (gives a 10% speed increase even on existing platforms) [originally from svn r5897]
* Better mouse button handling in Mines:Simon Tatham2005-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - middle button now also triggers the clear-around-square action - a special-case handler in midend_process_key() arranges that the left button always trumps the right button if both are pressed together, meaning that Windows Minesweeper players used to pressing L+R to clear around a square should still be able to do so without any strange behaviour. (The latter touches all game backends, yet again, to add a field to the game structure which is zero in everything except Mines.) [originally from svn r5888]
